I wonder how Cutler's contract will affect Cam's

I just heard on Sports Nation that Cutler got $50 mil guaranteed with a 7 year, $18 mil per year contract. Cutler is 30, and people are still talking about his talent and potential. You'd think that he was Cam's age the way that they talk about his perceived upside, but he has been around the block, and, at least in my mind, hasn't played as well as Cam, considering that he has been in the league for so many more years. That being said, I think that Cam is going to be offered a similar contract (perhaps for a shorter span, say 5 years), because Cam's game has proven to be just as viable's as Cutler's (in reference to being a franchise QB).

The last few years seem to show that teams are increasingly willing to move on from quarterbacks (see Gabbert, Blaine; Weeden, Brandon; Ponder, Christian; etc.) that suck - partially due to the new rookie contracts - and more willing to handsomely reward the ones that aren't elite but well, at least they don't suck (Flacco, Cutler, Ryan, Romo, etc.). We can argue the merits of individual contracts and perceived value of individual players, but at the end of the day, Cam Newton is getting a big fat contract cause he doesn't suck. You don't have to be Manning, Brady, or Brees to get a monster contract. You just have to not be Blaine Gabbert.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
